FS: 10 Second 1988 Formula daily driver

I need to get rid of my car right away.
Looking to get $5500 for it as it is right now with a few extras.
CLEAN car, bought it from california and had it shipped here 2 years ago, been stored every winter and NEVER seen salt or snow.
Car has a 355 4 bolt( apx. 1970 block)
Accel DFI system with 3 stage nitrous system
Bottle is hidden in the spare tire area with a remote vavle and bottle heater
All the nitrous controls are hidden in the arm rest
Has a purge kit on it
Accel Super ram upper and lower intake (ported and gasket matched)
AFR 190 aluminum heads (lightly ported and gasket matched)
1000CFM throttle body
Custom cold air induction
Comp cams roller cam. .525 224/236 Hyd. roller lifters.
Stock steel crank.
Beefed up GM rods
All ARP bolts
TRW forged pistons
MSD 6AL MSD coil
Edelbrock TES headers and y-pipe
Cat is on the car, however its gutted.
SLP single 3 " exhaust all the way back into a signle out muffler.

Full manual TH-350 with Extra deep aluminum finned trans pan
Hughes 3500 stall converter

Currie enterprises Ford 9" rear end, 3.70 gear, detroit locker
Solid lower control arms
Dynotech aluminum driveshaft

Battery in the back, on off switch is "hidden"
Autometer 5" tach with 2 stage shift light
Autometer elctric 100 psi fuel pressure guage
Autometer A/F ratio meter

Car has nitto 460NT`s on the front, only a few months old
Rear has drag radials but they are about history.
On factory wheels
front suspension was recently redone
Has lakewood drag struts on th efront
Has lakewood 50/50 read drag shocks on the back
Has air bags in the rear coils
B&M megashifter

Kicker 4x6" in dash
Cerwin Vega 6x9`s in rear
If stereo goes with car, it is a brand new pioneer with remote and MP3 and XM radio

Car is FAST, many people on this board can verify how fast this car is and how it appears it would only be a 13 second car at best.
Went 11.06 @ 118.5 last year at milan with too small of a tire on it and a 700R4
I would gues it will go atleast 10.80 @ 123+ with a 28" tall tire on it and the trans in it now.
It 60 footed a 1.47 at milan and on concrete pulls the tires every time.
Car went 12.62 @ 107 on motor, and would probably go 12.40 or quicker on motor now.
Car made 296 HP @ 410 TQ at the rear wheels on motor with a 700R4
Car made 445 HP and 669 TQ at rear tires with a 700R4 and starting the dyno at 3500, if it started where it made the tq on motor id guess it would have been in the 750 range.

Car has a rear main leak and the trans has a little leak too, other than that its fine. I have the gaskets to fix the rear main that will go with the car.

Has a tiny ding in each door, no dents or any damage to any body panels, car is straight and clean.
Headliner needs to be fixed, dashpad has the typial crack, rear wing paint is peeling as usual.

I have a bunch of gaskets to go with the car, basically about everything you need to take it apart and put it back together.
For another $50 Ill give you a 2nd nitrous bottle.
For another $600 ill give you a set of drag lites with front runners, 28" tall et streets, another rear set with 26" tall et drags and andother set of factory wheels.

If anyone has questions or wants to see the car, call my cell phone any time of day or night (313) 218-5195
Name is Eric. If I dont answer leave a message.
Maybe also be willing to trade for a truck & cash
Car is in the 96 & telegraph area
Car need to get a bath, but trust me, it cleans up VERY nicely
Im sure I missed some stuff, but its well worth it. LOTS of cash in this car. Have timeslips and dyno sheets to back up my claims......not to mention testimonials I expect to get from members on here

Im sure id get more for it, I want more for it. Im leaving town and I need the money now. Cant take the car with me.
I found a truck I want and that would get me where I need to go.
Im particularly looking for a GM truck, like an S-10 blazer, S-10, Full size chevy, 4x4. Something along them lines.

Im not able to check my emails and PM`s daily, so your best bet is to call me if your really interested. (313)218-5195

I made a small web site I forgot about.
its at
http://members.aol.com/tpiformula350/
They are kinda old, but the car hasnt changed much, shows the motor, tells all about the car.
The jacobs electronics you see are gone and replaced with MSD and it has a different tach, has a megashifter now
Check it out if you want to see pics.
Some of the info isnt 100% accurate asfar as performance is concerned since I street raced the car and didnt want to let on to how fast it was
